design as it was back in 2000 is kinda dead. We were all young. I think it didn't amount to anything, except that some people got a good time and made a buck. I did a few bucks but then I got bored.

they were ahead of their times. now they're behind their times.
- madirish0
wait.
is the question here about the website cubancouncil.com, or about the work Cuban Council does? if the latter, that last comment of Corvo's makes zero sense...
- I meant that the design spirit looked more relevant then it does now. nothing more, said the raven.********
- to me of course - not trying to speak for anyone else.********

nobody knows what anyone is talking about, including themselves. what is important is to feel the humid air coming out of your mouth

- that is not entirely true, and you know it.********
- true.********
- it's an hard job. It takes a lot of investment but then it goes away like it never mattered. It's kinda sad in a way.********
- I think I never got to accept that, and I cursed myself for taking so much trouble.********

Does they're phone still work?
Yes.
I'd say they're still in biz.

their website is still very 2003-ish.
their new work doesnt seem to be.
you just never ever hear about them in the 'design scene' anymore. no plugs to them. no mentions to their work. no talk about anything about them.
so.. are they 'less relevant' now? they used to be pretty prominent members of the community i thought.
- you still think there's a scene anymore? it was a fever and marketing and jobs served its antibiotic.********
- their probably busysherman
- no man. face it. the machine just caught up with it. that's what it does.********

of course they are relevant. they did the suicide girls web site. show some respect, ffs!

Does relevancy have to do with how much you hear about them? Because if so, their relevancy has lowered recently.

Western culture is dying and this is just another example of how irrelevant our daily life has become. Nothing you do is worth more than six-month exposure. Some may find it cool - and find excuses for it in their deep individualistic world. But I just find it shallow as a whole, useless and sad. This non-relevant world and culture is what we're bringing up - whatever you do will be worthless in six-months. Do you like this idea? I sure don't and I think it's a waste of time just getting up and feeding this hedious machine.

the scene was the best thing that ever happened.
you're just jaded, apathetic, and arent inspired enough to care about what was once something much cooler thna the shoes youre wearing now.
- i don't think i'm jaded. i think it's its nature. i just don't do anything else because i can't.********

OK I know I'm a poor scrawny little bastard. (just this wrote to use "scrawny". Damn fine word.)

lol @ Corvo. Guess what? That's a GOOD thing. We shouldn't be content, we should not be complacent. We should not be stagnant or sit still. Nothing is sacred. We should reach for something just beyond our grasp, not dig in the dirt of the past.
Change is good. New ideas are good. Evolution and Revolution is good.

kq, indeed nothing feels or is sacred - and change is good. But if so, what is there beyond our grasp? How can we grasp a new thing with the same words? You see, we've lost it in a way - language doesn't meet our expectations.
- O what if we could think without putting everything into words? would that be thought? ty killerq - you were great.********

k10k was my web hangout forever until it seemed to stall and I came over here. Still dig their work though.

actually - "tiny scrawls" are not Philip Larkin's. Nor "tiny". Sorry. "A scrawny cry from outside" belongs to Wallace Stevens (Pennsylvania). "Not Ideas about the thing but the thing itself":
